Hi, there.
I'm running Ubuntu Edgy Eft (Kernel 2.6.17.10) on a one-and-a-half year old 1.6 GHz Inspiron 6000. I actually just upgraded from Dapper to Edgy yesterday to try to alleviate this problem--no dice.
Never more than once a session, but completely unpredictably as to when (it could happen in the first five minutes, it may not happen for hours), my laptop will go through about a minute of "soft lockups;" the mouse will be unresponsive, the wireless will read as having no reception, etc., and any command-line processes I was running--like mencoder--will become uninterruptible.
After the minute or so is up, the interface will come back, but not the command-line processes, which will remain frozen.
Other than that, the only continued problem I've noticed is that when I go to stand by, hibernate, shut down or restart, it'll get all the way to the point where the computer should be turning off (the restart display will say, for instance "Will now reboot," and then nothing will happen--in the case of stand by and hibernate, it'll return to the desktop.
This is a pretty serious problem for me, and I've researched it to the best of my ability.
At first, from the system logs, I thought it was a wireless problem, so I disabled my wireless card. Still happened. Then I tried wiping my OS and starting from scratch--still nothing. Here's my most recent system log of the event:

and here's a more typical log from back when I was running Dapper:

Please help! I'm desperate and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
